I strongly believe that a better understanding of these mechanisms holds the key to sustainable agriculture. The knowledge of interaction\/communication between plants and their biotic stressors will allow us to engineer disease resistance in agronomically important plants.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Selected Publications” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%231e4d2b” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%20Slab%3A100%2C300%2Cregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css_animation=”flipInX”][vc_column_text width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first”]Nalam, V.J.<\/strong>, Louis, J., Patel, M. and Shah, J. 2018.
